While in Coney Island you can catch a baseball game at Maimonedes Park, home to the minor-league team, the Brooklyn Cyclones, an affiliate（傘下のチーム）of the New York Mets. With picture-perfect views of the famous roller coaster, the stadium also hosts boxing and wrestling matches during the off-season.
Take a walk down the 2.7-mile-long Riegelmann Boardwalk and take in scenic views of sandy beaches and the roaring waves. The scenic landmark, which opened in May 1923, stretches from Coney Island’s West 37th Street to Brighton 15th Street in Brighton Beach. There are plenty of fun recreation opportunities along the boardwalk, including courts for beach volleyball, handball, and basketball, as well as playgrounds for younger visitors. Or, just set up a beach chair, catch some rays（日光浴をする）, and enjoy the people-watching.
If you’re looking for more than a hot dog, you can stop in at one of the boardwalk’s famous eateries. Ruby’s, the boardwalk’s oldest bar and grill, offers patrons sea-side classics（定番） like corn dogs, jumbo shrimp, waffle fries, and a wide selection of beverages.
One of Coney Island’s most prized（貴重な）and historic fixtures is Luna Park, an iconic amusement park that is home to a number of famous attractions like the Cyclone rollercoaster. Perhaps the most famous attraction on the boardwalk, the Cyclone has been taking visitors on exhilarating（元気にさせる）rides since 1927. The second-steepest wooden rollercoaster in the world, the Cyclone features an 85-foot drop at nearly 60 degrees, 27 elevation variations, （昇降のバリエーション）and a whole bunch of（たくさんの）thrilling drops and curves. Some of the park’s other highlights include the new Thunderbolt roller coaster and the Sling Shot.
Located just a few steps from Luna Park is Deno’s Wonder Wheel, another storied （物語で名高い）attraction that is celebrating its 103rd birthday this year. The 150-foot-tall Ferris wheel gives riders a vantage point（見晴らしの良い地点）with views of the surrounding boardwalk, the beach, and out into the water.
Those looking to learn more about the rich history of Coney Island and the boardwalk should make sure to stop by the Coney Island Museum. The Coney Island Museum is the only institution in the world devoted to sharing the history of Coney Island’s amusement district.
The museum contains a collection of more than 5,000 items, including photographs, paintings, amusement-related artifacts, architectural pieces, and vintage signs and advertisements from over the decades.
11. Enjoy a cold drink at the Coney Island Brewing Company
コニーアイランド・ブリューイング・カンパニーで冷たいドリンクをお楽しみください
After walking the boardwalk or lounging（ゆったり座る）on the beach on a hot day, there’s nothing better than escaping the heat and enjoying a cold drink. The Coney Island Brewing Company has several offerings on tap（酒・ビールなどがすぐに出せるように用意されて）, including their signature（特徴である）Mermaid Pilsner and Mermaid IPA. The brewery was originally housed within the historic Coney Island Freakatorium building but relocated in 2015 to 1904 Surf Avenue after the structure was destroyed during Hurricane Sandy.
Every Friday night from late June to late August, visitors can enjoy a spectacular light show that fills up the night sky above Coney Island. The show is free to the public and can be seen nearly anywhere on Coney Island. The most scenic spot to watch is from the boardwalk or the beach, with each show lasting approximately 30 minutes from 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
13. Attend a show at the Coney Island Amphitheater（円形劇場） コニーアイランド・アンフィシアターでのショーを見よう
The Coney Island Amphitheater is a 5,000-seat, covered open-air venue that hosts concerts, sports events, comedy shows, and other types of events. Guests can also grab a bite（軽食をとる） to eat at the Terrace Grill, located directly behind the stage. The amphitheater is located within the state-of-the-art（最新式の）Seaside Park and Community Arts Center.
